Extra Credit
"Louis/Papa/The Family" - the French version of the Mafia.
Eric Bana's performance as a fully committed assassin, and the results of being one.

Deductions:
Nudity, Blood, everything they rated it "R" for.
Lots of "Effeys," as we'd say. (F*)
Very Dark movie

Recommendations:
Purchase DVD? No. Rent it.
Watch Repeatedly? Do you watch Saving Private Ryan repeatedly?

Additional Comments:
Munich is "Good" in the way the the Passion of the Christ is "good." You watch it, and realize it's excellently acted, a very well told story. But the events and scenes in the story are overwhelmingly dark.
